Servings: persons

1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon sherry
1 tablespoon red food coloring (optional)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring (optional)
12 skinless, boneless chicken thighs

1
Whisk brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, garlic, sriracha sauce, sherry, food coloring, sesame oil, Chinese five-spice powder, and liquid smoke together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours.
2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place a roasting rack in the bottom of the pan.
3
Remove chicken from marinade and place on the rack in the prepared roasting pan.
4
Pour marinade into a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
5
Bake chicken in the preheated oven, turning once and basting occasionally with marinade, until the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
